God, I want an iPod so bad. But I doubt my computer would be able to handle it (my operating system? Windows 95).
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I just want to burn songs to MP3 and listen to them without having to carry around a bulky CD player
When you install iTunes, the default is to burn songs from CDs to a non-MP3 format (I want to call it MP4, but I suspect that would be wrong.) But it's easy enough to change the option so everything is an .MP3.
The alleged problem with the batteries is that they stop being rechargable after a couple of months. I've only had my iPod for five days, so I can't say.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nope. Windows 95 does not support USB. You need at least Windows 98 for USB suport (but I'm not sure 98 is adequate in other ways).

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
It is mp4, but Apple calls it aac.

Win 98 worked with an .Mp3 player I bought a few years ago (the player was unsatisfactory in other ways -- it only held a few dozen songs, and was too bulky to carry easily), but iTunes won't work on that platform.

Thanks, Jon. I thought I remembered the file type was listed as "MPEG layer 4," but I wasn't sure.

Gandalfe, did you see that mix trade Cds are making their way to you?

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I don't have to use iTunes with an iPod, do I? I'm generally just going to be converting my CDs to MP3s and then transferring them to the MP3 player.

I'm pretty sure you do, Alicia -- I remember it was an issue when I had my old computer. The tech specs are here.

I believe I did, yes.
And I have Angus's ready to go, I just have to make it to the P.O.
